The sun renders the water legible
Translating the language of stars to blue
Light paints pool with signs intelligible
Marking the distance between me and you
How strange it is to envy a liquid
It holds you in a warm, turquoise embrace
It makes my dry yearning seem insipid
It mocks my awkwardness with fluid grace
There is one thing that light and water lack
Despite their shining, rippling beauty
Gazed upon, neither has eyes to look back
Nor a mind, to understand its duty
To witness your bubbling glory, here
To know that I can hold your image dear
